Devon and Cornwall Food Action

We receive surplus produce from food suppliers and manufacturers such as Morrisons, CO-OP, Tesco, Sainsburys, Waitrose, Lidl, Marks and Spencer, Bidfood, KFC, Pizza Hut, Greggs, Fareshare and Hingstons pasties & pies.

We redistribute this produce to people in need through organisations and schemes that run means testing processes to assess need.

The produce we are given would otherwise be wasted as it does not meet the standards for commercial sale either being close to its use by or best before dates, in damaged packaging, slightly damaged goods, minor manufacturing defects or does not meet supermarket merchandising quality standards such as straight bananas or bent carrots.
